Why do air bubbles in water rise?
Bubbles are comprised of gases, which have a lesser density than water. Since they are less dense, they get pushed up to the surface, and they rise, lighter than the liquid around them.
Why does an air bubble rise to the surface of a glass of warter?
When water is boiled, the heat energy is transferred to the molecules of water, which begin to move more quickly. Eventually, the molecules have too much energy to stay connected as a liquid. When this occurs, they form gaseous molecules of water vapor, which float to the surface as bubbles and travel into the air.
Why do bubbles come to the surface?
The bubbles have air or some other gas in them that is lighter than water.
Why are bubbles formed when an empty mug is tilted in a bucket of water?
When an inverted mug is put in a bucket of water it is not empty. It has air in it. When the mug is tilted the air escapes to the surface, this air is the bubbles you refer to.
Why do flames rise even though gravity pulls things downwards?
Hot gases expand and therefore are less dense than cold gases, and therefore hot gas has buoyancy and will rise, much as air bubbles float to the surface in water.

What are the bubbles that appear and rise to the surface during boiling?
air
Why air bubbles from the deep smaller when compared to surface of water?
In their motion to the surface air bubbles are associated and the volume increase.
When warm air rises what bubbles rise in the air?
Carbon Dioxide CO2 is the bubbles that rise in the air.
What are the bubbles in boiling water made of?
the bubbles in boiling water is water in a gasious state rising to the surface.
Do soap bubbles last longer in warm or cold air?
My answer is, that there are air bubbles in the bottom of it, (WHEN ITS BOILING) Than those air bubbles rise to the top, & That's how hot water bubbles more than cold water.

Are bubbles in a lemonade a solid liquid or gas?
the answer is bubbles are found in liquids.................
As the earth is heated by the sun bubbles of rise blank blank upward from the warm surface?
hot air
How do bubbles form in boiling water?
When water boils, the heat converts some of the water to steam and each bubble is a steam bubble. Steam is a gas that is lighter than water, and so the bubbles rise to the surface of the water where the steam is released. As the steam cools in the air, it forms water vapor, and that is what we see. Most people call the vapor "steam", but steam is a transparent gas, like air.
